Bwa ngkai e aki tii tabeakinna i bon irouna Iesu, a bon tabeakinia i bon irouia. Bwa ngkai Iesu e tabeaianga ma te inaomata, a tabeaianga ma te kairiiri. Bwa ngkai e tabeaianga Iesu ma te mwakuri n ibuobuoki, a tabeaianga ma te nakoa. Bwa ngkai e tabeakin raoi kainnanoia tabeman Iesu, a tabeaianga ma tii oin kainnanoia ao baike a tangiri.

Bwa ngkai e kaonaki Iesu ma te nanoanga ni baeranti ma te motiraoi, a kaonaki n angin te tai ma te takutaku ao te motibuaka.”¹

Taan kairiiri n aron Kristo a beku “ma mataia ae kaineti nakon mimitongin te Atua” (tara D&C 4:5), n ukoukora karaoan ana kantaninga te Tama are i Karawa. E taku te Tia Kamaiu, “I ruo mai karawa, tiaki i bukin te karaoa oin nanou, ma bon i bukin te karaoa nanon Teuare kanakomaiai” (Ioane 6:38).

Taan kairiiri n aron Kristo a aki katoka aia onimaki iaon “te iriko” (2 Nibwaai 4:34). A tataro ma te nanorinano ibukin te kairiiri. A tataninga te Uea ao n ukoukora karaoan Ana mwakuri n Ana tai ao n Ana kawai n oneamwin onimakinan oin aia tarena ao aia konabwai.

Taan kairiiri n aron Kristo a aki ukoukori nakoa n te Ekaretia; a tarai wewete bwa taai ni beku, tiaki n aron te karikirakeaki. Ao a aki iangoa te kamotirawaki bwa te kakeerikakaki. Te kamotirawaki e roko bwa mwakoron wewete ni kabane.

A ukoukora kakabwaiakia tabeman, n aron are e karaoia te Tia Kamaiu: “Bon akea te bwai ae kakaraoia ma ti bwaai aika a na kawaaka te aonaaba” (2 Nibwaai 26:24). A iangoiia i bon irouia bwa a na tia tei te Uea ni buokia tabeman bwa a na oki Nakoina.

Taan kairiiri n aron Kristo a ukeuke ni karikirakea aia ibuobuoki ibukia tabeman. E reirei Beretitenti Kimball:

“Iesu e onimakinia taan iriiria n tibwaua ana mwakuri ma ngaiia bwa aonga n rikirake. Ane teuana te kabanea ni korakora n reirei ibukin te kairiiri. Ngkana ti aki kariaia ni kan buokia tabeman n te aro bwa e aonga n tia te mwakuri n ae waekoa riki ao n ae nakoraoi, e na taraa n nakoraoi tian te mwakuri, ma akea te rikirake ke te keerake irouia taan iriiri anne ae kakawaki riki. …

“Iesu e angania aomata taian koaua ao aia mwakuri ake a boraoi ma aia konabwai. E aki tautaekania n riaon ae a kona ni karaoia, ma e angania ae bon tau ni karikirakea maiun tamneia.”²
